the road goes off steep feet. about 20-30 feet sometimes. >> now the woman was pronounced dead on the scene. we're told she is 31 years old out of pet law ma. three male passengers we believe to be in their 30s received major injuries. they were taken to santa rosa memorial two of them and the other one to marin general. firefighters and chp say this is the third fatal crash. and the crash is still under investigation. it's unknown whether the woman perhaps fell asleep at the wheel or if alcohol was a factor. but back here live just minutes ago a tow truck removed the vehicle and now the northbound lane of 101 is open. you can see traffic is flowing very nicely in both directions. we're live in moe have toe tara moriarty. happening right now it is 2:00 in the afternoon at vatican city. crowds of people have been gathering at st. peters square waiting for that big decision.
